Journey Through Sci-Fi: Science Fiction Film History
Includes transcripts
A film history podcast that takes one big science-fiction idea and follows it through the decades.
Hosted by James Frazer Payne and Matt Willcock, Journey Through Sci-Fi traces the evolution of science fiction on screen, from the silent era to the present day. Each episode pairs two films to ask what changed in between: how they were made, what they reveal about the world that produced them, and how science fiction keeps reinventing the same hopes, fears and questions for a new generation.
Previous journeys have explored Artificial Intelligence, from Metropolis and The Terminator to Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix and Ex Machina. Space Opera, from the Star Wars trilogies and Dune to Starcrash and the silent-era A Trip to Mars. Plus Time Travel, Dystopias, Virtual Reality and Mad Science, with regular detours into science-fiction television.
Next journey: Friendly Aliens, We Come in Peace!
New episodes every other Thursday. Bonus episodes, Patron’s Picks and franchise deep dives at patreon.com/JourneyThroughSciFi
